UITableView separator line disappears when selecting cells in iOS7

Question

In my tableView I set a separator line between cells. I am allowing selection of multiple cells. Here\'s my code for setting selected cell background color:

Answer 1

I needed the following:

"When user selects row, selection background color is transparent/white/whatever you may call it and separator lines don't disappear"

I've looked as well for a solution for the following problem:

"When I select a row in a table (plain type table) I had selection colour grey, and if I set cell.selectionStyle to none -> Separators between cells disappeared."

Xcode - 9.2 version

Found the following solution:

1. in 'tableView (....cellForRowAT...)' let colorView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 3.0, width: cell.frame.width, height: cell.frame.height - 1.0)) colorView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white UITableViewCellClass.appearance().selectedBackgroundView = colorView

UITableViewCellClass - is your prototype cell class it makes possible to change selection color to white

2. in 'tableView (...didSelectRowAt)' cell.selectionStyle = .none

3. in UITableViewCellClass (your prototype cell class)

   override func layoutSubviews() { super.layoutSubviews()

   subviews.forEach { (view) in
       if type(of: view).description() == "_UITableViewCellSeparatorView" {
           view.alpha = 1.0
       }
   }
   

   }

it allows to keep selected row with check mark and all separators are in place.
